Small forward Tom Papley and veterans Jake Lloyd and Harry Cunningham are also missing, along with the injured Logan McDonald (ankle). Hayden McLean and Robbie Fox have been named to play in the VFL match sim.

Of the players to have arrived in the off-season, only Ben Paton will feature as Dean Cox takes charge of the Swans for the first time.

The Giants, meanwhile, will be without recruit Jake Stringer, who will miss due to illness. Tom Green (calf), Sam Taylor (concussion) and Stephen Coniglio, who is continuing his recovery from off-season surgeries, are sidelined.

Callum Brown (hamstring), Ryan Angwin (ankle) and Josh Fahey (foot) are also sidelined.

As reported by AFL.com.au earlier on Thursday, Cody Angove has bolted into Opening Round calculations and will feature, as will Phoenix Gothard and James Leake after impressive pre-seasons.

The Crows will be without Isaac Cumming, who is being managed, for their meeting with Port Adelaide at Mount Barker.

Max Michalanney (thumb) and Lachlan Sholl are also missing, while Izak Rankine is absent after playing for the Indigenous All Stars on Saturday night, having also battled illness.

The Power have been hit by injuries this pre-season and are without Todd Marshall (Achilles), Brandon Zerk-Thatcher (back), Esava Ratugolea (knee) and Dante Visentini, who had off-season knee surgery and has also signed on for another two years.

Ruck Ivan Soldo is also absent.

Jason Horne-Francis has been included in the squad after playing in the Indigenous All Stars' win over Fremantle.

Days after joining the Power as a pre-season supplemental selection period signing, Josh Lai has also been included.
